A twisted predator has been nailed after his DNA connected him to a shocking 2021 rape case – just days after he tried to strike again in Leeds.

Boachie’s Sick Crime Spree Uncovered

Rashid Boachie, 44, was found guilty today (19 February 2026) of two vile offences: rape and sexual assault. He will face sentencing on 25 March.
He was arrested on 14 August 2025. DNA taken at the time shockingly matched samples found on the jeans of a woman raped back in August 2021 in Beeston, Leeds.

That earlier victim had been out with friends and accidentally got into Boachie’s car, thinking it was a taxi. Instead of taking her home, he drove her to an empty car park where he attacked her.

In a chilling moment of bravery, the victim managed to send a brief video message screaming “help me” from inside Boachie’s car.

Justice on the Horizon

Boachie has been locked up since his arrest last August. Now, finally, he faces justice for the horrific crimes that terrorised two women in Leeds.
